why is the cork on the fork?

Month: July 2017

While tinkering with Domino Configuration Tuner today, I noticed that it recommends adding Debug_Logger_Buf_Full_No_Wait=1. However, rerunning DCT after adding the entry yields a different recommendation:

One or more settings were found in NOTES.INI that usually should not be set:
DEBUG_LOGGER_BUF_FULL_NO_WAIT=1

Looks like something squeaked by QA.

Another finding worth mentioning is the recommendation to use CREATE_R85_LOG=1. I don’t necessarily have a problem with that recommendation, but the suggested implementation method is atrocious:

Recommendation:
Bring down the server. Back up existing transaction logs, then delete them. Set Create_R85_Log=1 in the server NOTES.INI and restart the Domino server to have new logs created using the updated format. The new logs will have properly aligned I/O blocks. There is no need to verify the current block size. Domino will use correctly format the log even if the block size is 512.

Um, don’t do it that way, please. If you want to use, CREATE_R85_LOG=1:
